Marx's money capital was a commodity - gold.
This embodied labour. It was quite different from what Jurrian is
categorising as capital.
In Marx's presentation to be capital something had first to be a
commodity. A commodity must have a physical use value and also contain
labour.

Hi Paul C:

Jurriaan has claimed that bonds represent a form of capital and you
claim
that this is not the case but rather that it expresses only the "surface
appearance" of the matter.  My question to you is: is what Marx refers
to
as "money capital" actually capital from your perspective or does that
also only represent a "surface appearance"?

In solidarity, Jerry
